Corporate profits will continue to be crushed amid high inflation and Federal Reserv e interest rate hikes, according to Goldman Sachs. Yet some stocks are better positioned than others to navigate the headwinds, the investment bank said. Goldman expects S & P 500 net profit margins to fall by 25 basis points in 2023, weighing on the index's return on equity, or ROE.
With that in mind, Goldman rebalanced its "ROE Growth" basket, which contains 50 stocks with the highest consensus expected ROE growth during the next 12 months. The median stock is expected to grow ROE by 14% during that time, compared to a loss of 5% for the median S & P 500 company, Kostin said. He added 21 new companies to the basket. Charter Communications , Amazon and Nike were among those added to the basket, all with expected ROE growth close to 40%.
